Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis - Women's 2025

They've kept the name of the best-selling women's ski of all time, but redesigned the ski from the ground up. The Blizzard Black Pearl 88 Skis feature a new W.S.D. (Women Specific Design) Trueblend Flipcore Core of Beech and Poplar woods, and a freshly shaped top laminate of Titanal that's separated into two pieces instead of a single sheet.

Product Details

Rocker Type

Rocker Camber RockerSki profile with rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.

Core

TrueBlend W.S.D. All Mountain CoreTrueBlend core of Beech with seven stringers of Poplar, tailor-made for each length of ski, using lighter Women's Specific Design woods.

Laminates

Two-Piece W.S.D. Titanal Laminate for Grip and StabilityNo longer a single sheet of Titanal, the 2025 Black Pearl uses a two-piece laminate with a sheet of fiberglass in between the layers. The upper layer of metal resembles the shape of the FluxForm Titanal layer in the Sheeva skis and the lower layer fills in the gap in the center.

Sidewalls

Sandwich Compound SidewallAll Blizzard skis with the exception of some junior skis are built with ABS or Phenol sidewalls for superior performance (stability, power transmission, handling) and durability.

Base

Sintered Graphite Base

Binding Compatibility

We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width.
